i think in some ways an online pool site is irrelevant to azb but on the other hand they are having the offical wpc online world pool championships so it is hard to say that it's not relevant to pool as well as azb main forum
it took me a few months but i adjusted to the tables on the old site poolcompsonline.com, and the tables there allowed the best/most skilled players to usually win most tourneys or finish in the money, they had a few glitches but u could still have fun with it, i actually believe that the glitch in how the balls wouldn't cut thin was a huge advantage to the better player because it forced u to be more accurate with your positional play, from what i was told they wanted to fix these glitches but the programmers that had built the game had messed up pretty badly and no upgrades could be made and thats why they started over from scratch
the new tables have been updated numerous times, at least a dozen or more, i noticed last night that the balls are breaking more open and that they changed the aim line, my main beef with the new tables is the rails, it shocked me that anyone would think they are the most realistic tables when they aren't even close because of the rails, kicking is almost completely negated, personally i take more pride in my kicking abilities/safety game than any other aspect, i have adjusted well to the banks and can bank pretty strong but even making a good hit on a basic kick shot is a tough task, it also botches the cue ball path so theres never much certainty as to the exact path, and english takes way too much off rails especially the harder u hit a shot
when they came out with the snooker tables i was excited because it's my favorite game but i was also annoyed because the rails played more realistic, so this led me to believe that they purposely wanted the rails to play unrealistic on the pool tables and since the purpose of the site is to improve your pool that it was a pretty big contradiction, until they fix the rails the site doesn't hold much credibility with me, if they correct the rails all they'd need to do is work on some flaws in the ball physics and then they'd have a really solid table
i agree with some others here that they should have snooker tourneys, their snooker game is the best pool game online, it has the best over all playability/realistic replication of an actual pool game, i would love to see some $20 - $50 entry tournies independent of pco because they won't take money for individual buy ins, i would love to play some high stakes snooker heads up but most people will welch even for a few bucks
